Sometimes Things Just Don't Work Out

By -

Well - today was our day to go to the Temple. Dad went off to cut down Karen Kleidman's tree and I was doing my own thing (going to gym, etc). We were to leave to 11 a.m. because I had an errand to do in Westchester and dad had to give an estimate. You know the way things go around here, it was around 12:30 when we were finally ready to leave and I was throwing dad's stinky work clothes into the washer when I notice something wrong (it had dirty water in it) - so we had to call a plumber.......and call the temple to say we were going to make it after all. So - the plumbing job turned out larger than expected......it's thundering (because plan B was to take the motorcycle to Westchester). It will be interesting to see how the rest of the day turns out. Oh plus the plumber is grouchy. Ugh - I just had to write that grouchy plumber a check for $475! ugh...................................

Tomorrow is Father's Day and Jess and Jeron's anniversary! I got dad the coolest gift. It's an boom bucket. It's really a pail boom box. It's for his IPod. The Ipod goes it and he can carry it to the lake or camping. It comes with it's own "wetsuit." Jess is speaking in church tomorrow. I don't know how she will get through. She is going to talk about dad, Jeron, Bryant and Isaac I think.

Love you all!

This day is going to get better~I have a great family! Oh - I was reading about Elizabeth Smart in the new People magazine and the one thing that got her through her whole ordeal was the fact that she had a family! That she was Ed and Lois Smart's daughter and more importantly and nothing her captors were to do to her was going to change that - she was their daugther forever! Not just for this life. Such an important truth. Maybe we can still make it to the temple today after all....

I want you to know how much I admire you. I know that time is short for you and your family to be together and there are lots of things to do. But somehow I feel that you are one of the lucky ones. In these next few weeks, you will love Jeron more than you ever have and you will cherish all your moments together as a family as most of us civilians never do. You are strong. You come from strong stock. Me, my mom, her mom, grandma hett, aunt julie, stacey, kristie. When you were Charly's age, you always loved to be in the wind and rain. I would carry you and try to shield you from the bad weather, but you always poked your little face, loving the rain and wind beating on it. I still have that image of that baby girl as I look as you now. You have challenges and trials and yet are so willing and ready to face them head on. Love each second with your husband! He is a good man. Know that the Lord is mindful of you and keep a record of his many blessings to you and Jeron. You...

A Challenge

By Stacey -
So Jake and I have been watching a lot of tv and decided to take pick at least one day of the week and not turn on the TV at all. We challenge you guys to do the same. We are going to do Mon ( our fam home evening day). So, we challenge you guys to do the same...no TV, no movies, and no excessive internet surfing for one day a week. Go for a walk, a hike, start reading a book together, clean, make dinner together, do random service for people you don't know, go to bed early! Let me know how it all goes!

hi Ya'll (thats what everyone says here in TX) Jeron and I have made great friends with Vanessa And Eder..... (jeron works with him) They are really down to earth and are SO good with charly. They are our age and both mexican.....(jeron fits right in with them... lol kidding) Last night the 4 1/2 of us went to a carnival.... we all took turns riding the rides and watching charly.... then we all stuffed our faces with corn on the cob, cotton candy (which charly loved), and caramel apples YUMM. we watched all the animals in the petting zoo, got fake tattoos (some things never get old) and just sat and talked. It was so fun. It just made me feel so good.....Just in the sense of me and jeron and charly being our own little family in Texas..... 100's of miles from where we were raised..........being on our own... not depending on anyone anymore.... and being so happy together. I feel like we have come so far from where we were 2 years ago... when I didn't eve...
